How to Bet on Football Online
To give yourself the best chance of your football bet coming in, it helps to:
1. Look into pre-match data: Check as much information as possible before the game. Consider the recent form of the teams, league position and the head-to-head between the sides.
2. Check on injuries and suspensions: An influential player missing through injury or suspension can often have a big impact on the result.
3. Evaluate live data when betting in-play: Look at the likes of expected goals (xG), passes in the final third and big chances created to see momentum shifts in the game.
4. Do your research into off-pitch noise: A potential managerial reshuffle or a top player handing in a transfer request can easily unsettle a team.
It’s simple to bet on football with BoyleSports. You can sign up on our website or through our mobile betting app in minutes.
How do Football Odds Work?
All our football odds are displayed as fractional odds. For example, Manchester City at 2/1 to beat Manchester United in the derby. A £10 bet on City would result in £20 winnings, plus your original stake back for a total of £30. Our helpful betting calculator is a great place to start to understand odds and help plan your football bets.
In the lead-up to a match, many factors can impact the football odds. Things like a top player returning to the side or being suspended, team form and unhappy players can all affect the odds. As can betting trends in the run-up to the match.
The Best Football Betting Markets
The simplest bets you can make are match outcome (win, lose or draw) and correct score (just pick your match and bet on what you think the final score will be).
There are so many football betting markets to choose from, so the best for you depends on how you want to bet.
Other match odds include the likes of:
1. Both teams to score (BTTS): A bet on both teams to hit the back of the net
2. Number of cards: How many red or yellow cards in a match
3. Number of corners: How many times a corner is taken in a match
4. Goal time: The exact minute of the first, last or next goal
5. Handicap betting: Bet on the favourite with a handicap or the underdog with an advantage
6. Goalscorer: Back a player to score first, last or at any time during the match
You can also bet on football live with our in-play markets, where odds update in real time as the action unfolds. And don’t miss our Bet Builder to combine multiple markets into a single bet.
